UKRI is set to invest more than £317 million in a ground-breaking plant and microbial science and innovation hub at the heart of Norwich Research Park.
The transformational investment will aid the development of new cutting-edge, world-class facilities for the John Innes Centre (JIC) and The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL).
As well as transforming the existing capabilities of JIC and TSL, both internationally recognised centres of excellence in plant and microbial science, the new hub aims to become a net-zero carbon laboratory.
It will deliver a step change in the UK’s capability to translate scientific knowledge into bio-based solutions in response to some of society’s most pressing challenges.
